Recession of hearts Regression of form The natural shift Transitions for all that is grand All that is gold Recession of hearts Regression of form The natural shift Transitions between Hate fear and conflict New masters Slaves New Pharaohs Slaves New Ornaments Slaves New slaves

Strategies of tension Grand design disinformation Cult of mass anxiety Dark astronomers have called Prophecies of worlds Neglected by the gods We hail Salute Travail Tribute our homage to A council of rats We hate Despise Breed through disparagement With foam at our mouths Orthodox standard ritual for despair Orthodox standard ritual for despair Dark astronomers have called Prophecies of worlds Neglected by the gods Strategies of tension Grand design disinformation Warfare Divide Conquer Public Opinion The free rein dies when greed strikes

Burning Love 02:06
Burning love wearing thin We all choose when to begin When to forget Who to condemn Who will be next When to regret I have no hope I have no Burning love wearing thin We all lose could you believe The broken heart is giving up Is caving in is crashing down Just like our confidence facing a 90mph full stop Burning love wearing thin We all choose when to begin A song to cheer A hand to fear And open letters For you to hear Coming up from the urban wrecks All our failing aspirations sing This is only damaged tissue These are only open wounds

Conform Your goals Granted rewards We come around To stay afloat Don't need your thoughts Don't need your speech Vigilant crusades Following common standards Leaders of an inner circle Self centered Self serving Selfish and ignorant Vigilant crusades Following common standards Leaders of an inner circle Self centered Self serving Selfish and ignorant So fucking self sufficient A flock of mannequins Is there any knowledge Don't need your thoughts Don't need your speech Don't need your thoughts Don't need your speech

Old Crow 02:12
Old man Rest your head Weary eyes And tired hands You know the journey Begs for more tales Turmoils Winters Losing games And same mistakes You know the journey Begs for more tales You searched for saviour You seeked for wealth When we will follow We’ll lead the way But will we learn From the same footsteps By light divided Old crow grieve on From the same footsteps What will we learn Fueled by regrets What will we learn

He was there Shaped by time Bent with age Never could cast the first stone Face trial for who is right And who did wrong And still he whispers by her side To age with you Is the most cherished dream But may deaths' razor Beat on my chest After the sun grewth smaller In the light of your face For I could never make you see That no one knows What is true What is false But I'm not giving in I'm not giving out
8.
Scales 02:48
To whom it may concern The jaded and the burned These shivers sing the blues Be gone be gone prosperity The ivories displayed On recognition nights Their decorated tusks Become the bronze As we Became the snakes Wretched coat of arms Effigy of decline The memories and relics Of a season bound to set Doom driven waste away Doom driven waste away The golden age is long forgotten We celebrate our lack of faith
9.
Jawbones 03:59
I've been giving my throat To the spawn of a curse To the endless endearing That makes the sentiments worse Oh all these desperate bones All were once the pillars Were once the messengers All were once the pillars Were once the bravest of men Now they lay They confide In their sleep Now they lay They confide Decomposing my dreams Keep your courage beside you Keep your secrets at bay In the mouth of a lion Is this what we call failure Is this what you call faith In the mouth of a lion We bleed red Courage Confides Your deepest care No flags flourish Over the dead Just worms And blind mice I never though that It would last forever I never thought that It could end this way

She pours down the liquor at night And carefully softens the swelling Ungraciously masking the obvious The trademarks of modern defeat The demons remind her the pledge The anchors have sunk in the harbor Now she’s weaving her shroud Through the passing days To what was given the name To what was given the name of love She pours down the liquor at night And carefully softens the swelling Ungraciously masking the obvious The trademarks of modern defeat So she takes the beating For another year No one leaves No one cares No one lifts a finger No one cares No one raises doubt No one cares No one dreams No one cares No one
